Story4.5 out of 5 stars 117
When Lister got drunk, he really got drunk! After celebrating his birthday with a Monopoly-board pub crawl around London, he came to in a burger bar on one of Saturns moons, wearing a lady's pink crimplene hat and a pair of yellow fishing waders, with no money and a passport in the name of "Emily Berkenstein". Joining the Space Corps seemed a good idea.

As a fan of both the shows and the books, Chris Barrie does a great job of bringing the character voices from the shows to the reading of the book.

doesn't age well
not sure when this was written, but some of the humour doesn't age well and feels rather sexist. Haven't watched the show in years, it might be the same.
The thing I REALLY want to comment on though is the audio levels. They're terrible. The different voices have different volumes, and the tone of it can be quite sharp.
